Italeri 1/48 Eurocopter Tiger Model Kit

The Eurocopter Tiger is an attack helicopter jointly developed by Germany (then West Germany) and France. The prototype made its first flight in April 1991. In 2003, it began operation in France and Germany, respectively. It has an airframe structure that makes extensive use of composite materials such as carbon fiber and Kevlar, and employs a narrow fuselage and a tandem cockpit. It is equipped with two TurboMeca Rolls-Royce MTR390 engines. It is equipped with high-performance avionics, including a mast-mounted targeting system. In France, it is used for anti-tank operations, and in Germany, it is used for a wide range of missions including anti-tank, reconnaissance, and escort.

The model is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the Eurocopter Tiger, an attack helicopter jointly developed by France and Germany. Finished length: 292mm. This kit accurately reproduces the shape of a four-bladed aircraft with a tandem cockpit layout. Its reduced number of parts makes it easy to assemble. The rear seat side window on the canopy (right) and the front seat side window (left) are separate parts, allowing for open or closed positions. The cockpit interior, including the seats and instrument panel, is also realistically reproduced. The aircraft's shape is detailed not only by panel lines but also by separate parts for fine details such as handrails. Along with the armament and other equipment, this creates a highly realistic finish.
